I think this is due to Stefan's change on 2005-12-23 in vc-annotate. I
think save-current-buffer in the new interactive block of that function
is responsible for it. Stefan, did you have any particular rationale
for this change?
If not, I would also prefer to revert to the previous behaviour.

Not sure if that is due to the same change.
